One Fine Line by Rajnish Mishra

One Fine Line

Mourn for the departed glory, 
For poems that left earth
Unheard, unsung.

Poetry lives in a line, or two,
The rest is merely glue, it’s true.

A bold lone stroke stands not for art, 
Nor one fine phrase for a poem.

When I see now, what passes for it, 
It saddens; emboldens me a bit.

For who now crafts their one fine line
At a time,
And then, one more?
